HOW DO YOU KNOW? HAVE YOU EVER BEEN SHOCKED? NO PATIENT HAS EVER REPORTED PAIN. YES, BECAUSE THEY DONT REMEMBER IT. THAT DOESNT MEAN THEY DIDNT FEEL IT. YOU SHOCK A PATIENT, YOU PUNISH HIM. HE STOPS FEELING GUILTY FOR A WHILE-- EXACTLY. AND HE BECOMES ACCESSIBLE TO PSYCHOTHERAPY. HES ALREADY ACCESSIBLE. HES NOT GOING TO KILL HIMSELF. CAN YOU BE SURE OF THAT? SOME WOMAN CAME TO SEE HIM TODAY. THATS WHY HES UPSET. AND WHY ARE YOU SO UPSET? I AM NOT UPSET. DR. FARMER, DID YOU WANT ME TO GIVE THE MESSIAH HIS INJECTION? NO, ILL TAKE CARE OF IT. GAIL...

WHATEVER HE NEEDED, I GAVE HIM. ID BE WORKING AT THE FACTORY, ID RUSH HOME IF HE WAS HUNGRY, OR... HAVING A BAD DREAM. ID KNOW ABOUT IT. A MOTHER ALWAYS KNOWS HER--HER BABY NEEDS SOMETHING.

THATS HOW HE COMMUNICATES. THATS HOW HES ALWAYS COMMUNICATED SINCE HE WAS BORN. HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS? BECAUSE HIS MOTHER WAS HERE EARLIER. SHE TOLD ME. ITS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE HE WAS A BABY. ITS POSSIBLE, I SUPPOSE, IT COULD BE SOME FORM OF TELEPATHY. THATS WHAT I THINK. DO YOU THINK JOHN DOE KNOWS HE HAS THIS ABILITY? OH, I DONT THINK HE WANTS TO KNOW. HE CANT CONTROL IT. THATS WHY IT COMES OU IN HIS DREAMS. DR. FARMER, YOU ASKED TO SEE A BIBLE? OH, YES, YES. THANK YOU. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? IM LOOKING UP THAT LICENSE PLATE NUMBER. ITS LUKE1:31. LUKE... 1:31. "AND BEHOLD, THOU SHAL CONCEIVE IN THY WOMB "AND BRING FORTH A SON, "AND SHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS." OH, MY GOD, THAT CRAZY WOMAN. THANK YOU. DONT FORGE YOUR JACKET. WHERE IS JOHN DOE? HES IN THE DAY ROOM. DOES IT REMIND YOU OF HER? WHATS 1963? WHY WERE YOU TRYING TO GET THERE? I DONT KNOW WHA YOURE TALKING ABOUT. LOOK AT THE TOP CARD. WHAT FOR? JUST LOOK AT IT. DONT SHOW IT TO ME.

YOU FEEL SORRY FOR HIM, YOU WANT TO MOTHER HIM. IN YOUR EAGERNESS TO EMPATHIZE, YOU EVEN START SEEING THINGS THROUGH HIS EYES. AND THEN HIS REAL MOTHER SHOWS UP. YOU FEEL THREATENED BY HER, SHES A RIVAL FOR HIS LOVE. YOU GET UPSET WITH HER, WITH ME, WITH YOURSELF. AND GO OUT WRECK AND MY CAR? IM NO THAT GUILTY. NO. GUILT WOULD BE NEUROTIC. AND YOU THINK IM JUST FLAT-OUT CRAZY? HE SAYS, "IM BACK IN ALFREDS BEARD." GAIL, I WANT YOU TO GO HOME. I WANT YOU TO GET SOME REST. AND I WANT YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM JOHN DOE 83.
